About 30,000 people, including breast cancer survivors, flooded Denver with pink Sunday as they took to the streets to run in the annual Komen Denver Race for the Cure.

Approximately 1,800 of those running or walking in the race that began and ended at the Pepsi Center are survivors of the disease, according to Michele Ostrander, CEO of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Denver Metropolitan Affiliate.

In addition, 403 teams of 10 persons or more participated in this year’s race. There were more than 1,000 volunteers helping with the Denver race.

The event raised $2 million that will be used to support uninsured or under-insured breast cancer victims in the Komen Denver 19-county service area and fund breast cancer research.

At the race, breast cancer survivors who wished to be recognized wore pink caps and T-shirts. Some participants wore “In Memory of” and “In Celebration of” signs on their backs to honor loved ones.
